QuickCam installation on Wine

[Hetz Ben Hamo]

Moshe,

Wine does not support hardware, so it cannot install any drivers under
wine, nor any USB devices. It can use some "wrappers" to make devices
which are already have Linux drivers installed and loaded - can use
the hardware with wine.

IMHO, your best bet would be to install the webcam using Linux driver
(I think your cam is already supported under Linux) and use a native
Linux program with it. Kopete for example supports webcams so you can
use it with other people who use MSN messenger or Yahoo or ICQ.
